BACK TO FRANCE CLUBS

Hi, I’m Carlos! A coach, sports enthusiast, and the founder of FCScout.com.

I fell in love with the game at a very young age like many of you. I’ve been following and playing soccer for many years.

Throughout my career, I always enjoyed helping soccer players chase their dreams, which is why I started this website. I wanted to reach a larger audience outside of my local area and fcscout.com was born.

This website is a platform I will be using to update club pages on any tryouts, stadiums, players, tech, and more from clubs around the world. I also create free recruitment profiles for players looking to have that extra competitive edge when reaching out to clubs.

That’s it. That’s my pitch for you to stick around (or browse the site as you please).

This is already too much text for a “see more” drop-down button thing. If you want to reach out to me, head on over to my contact page 🙂

Association Sportive de Monaco Football Club SA, commonly referred to as AS Monaco or Monaco, is a professional football club based in Monaco. The club competes in Ligue 1, the top flight of French football.

AS Monaco FC History

Despite having its home in Monaco, the team competes under the league system used in France for football. As a result of its eight league wins and five Coupe de France medals, Monaco is considered to be one of the most successful football clubs in all of France. Additionally, the club has competed in European football and finished in second place in both the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1992 and the UEFA Champions League in 2004.

Les Rouges et Blancs is the traditional name of the club, which also takes its name from the club’s historic colors of red and white (The Red and Whites). The European Club Association includes Monaco as a member country. It was announced in December 2011 that a Russian investment group led by billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev had purchased two-thirds of the club. The team was able to immediately return to Ligue 1 with the financial backing of Rybolovlev, and they went on to win the 2016–17 Ligue 1 season, which was their first league title in 17 years.

Stadium

Since its erection in 1939, the original Stade Louis II was the venue for Monaco’s sporting events. The previous stadium was demolished in 1985 and replaced with the current one. It was constructed on a neighboring location that was made up of ground that had been reclaimed from the Mediterranean Sea, which has become a recurrent feature of the beachside surroundings of the stadium.

The venue is known as the Louis II Stadium in honor of a former Prince of Monaco, and it has a capacity of 18,523 spectators. In addition to playing host to a plethora of sports competitions and the finals of the European Cup, the Stade Louis II is famous for its nine distinctive arches. It was the site of every UEFA Super Cup played between 1998 and 2012; however, beginning in 2013, UEFA made the decision to move the tournament to a different venue each year. From 1998 to 2012, it was held in August.
